Here are some things we know for sure:

Catches win matches. 15 runs makes the difference between a tight loss and a comfortable win. Everyone remembers the moment the game turned on a brilliant piece of fielding.

I bet you are thinking of one right now.

These are things we know, things that the coach says again and again (especially after we drop a couple). Yet still there is no accepted measure of fielding skill like batting or bowling average.

Cricket Show 262: Competition Winner

Filed in:

This week's winner of the Cricket Show podcast question competition is Axiom. He wins a free coaching course from PitchVision Academy.

The winning question was:

"I am a killer batsman to almost all types of bowling. My only problem is spin. If the bowler bowls spin really fast, then the problem arrives. I can't judge the line and length of the ball. I can't play front foot on spin bowling. Funnily, yorker balls do not pose much challenge to me."

Listen to the panels answer to his question here.
